Spring Surf on the Outer Banks

An offshore weather system pushed swell towards the Outer Banks late last week and into the weekend. 

Thursday and Friday were a bit messy with a lot of water moving around but not many clean lines.  Saturday, however, was the right combination of ingredients.  The water is still chilly, but the air temp was in the upper 60’s on Saturday, the wind and waves cooperated for some classic OBX waves, and favorite Outer Banks surf spots had their share of wetsuit clad surfers…some even hoodless.  The waves were pushing double-overhead in some spots. 

Here’s a local photographer that was able to get some great black and white shots of the action.
